About this work

This painting shows Samuel Pepys, a man with a serious expression. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist who made this print is unknown, which makes it interesting because we can't learn about their other works or style. The print was published a long time after Pepys died, so it's not a portrait from his lifetime. You can learn more about this kind of art at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
